STUDY OF CONTROL AND ACCEPTANCE OF GRADATIONS OF AGGREGATES BY STATISTICAL METHODS

THE STUDY WAS INITIATED WITH A LITERATURE SURVEY WHICH PROVIDED A PARTIAL BASIS FOR THE SEVERAL PILOT STUDIES OF HANDLING AGGREGATES AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS. STATISTICAL PARAMETERS WERE DEVELOPED FROM THE PILOT STUDIES. THE PARAMETERS WERE USED TO DEVELOP AND SIMULATE TENTATIVE SYSTEM OF GRADATION CONTROL. THE DATA AND EXPERIENCE RESULTING FROM APPLICATION OF THE TENTATIVE SYSTEMS OF GRADATION CONTROL WERE USED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS. THE RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE SAMPLING PLANS, TOLERANCE LIMITS, PRICE ADJUSTMENT SCHEDULES AND DETAILS FOR OPERATING THE SYSTEM OF CONTROL AND ACCEPTANCE. /BPR/
